**Nivoda: Where Innovation and Gemstones Meet**
Nivoda is building the global marketplace for jewellery.
Our platform connects retailers and suppliers across diamonds, gemstones, and finished jewellery, already enabling more than $300M in annual transactions and scaling rapidly toward a billion-dollar business.
Alongside the marketplace, we are building a fintech layer spanning payments, credit, underwriting, and financial operations. These systems generate large volumes of operational and financial decisions every day.
You will be building the internal decision infrastructure that determines how credit, payments, and risk are managed across a marketplace processing hundreds of millions in annual transactions.
Our Mission 💎
The idea of Nivoda was inspired by the ongoing inefficiency of diamond trading. We set out to develop the solution to help businesses, regardless of their size or location, increase their sales and margins, whilst removing the operational burden of sourcing diamonds.
Technology is at the heart of Nivoda’s business, powering everything we do. Within our remote-first team, we foster a culture of innovation and collaboration where engineers can thrive. Join us and be part of a dynamic environment that values creativity, empowers individuality, and recognizes excellence. Together, we push boundaries to deliver groundbreaking solutions and leave a lasting impact on the global industry.
